Requires

- Textools2 v1. 9. 6+: http://ffxivtextools.dualwield.net/

- An up to date game client.

Credits

- Upierczi#6599 for the facelifted vanilla textures. .

- Natyusha for the body textures.: https://prettykittyemporium.blogspot.ca/2018/02/mod-name-clean-maps-skin-textures-mod.html

- K'hora Sani#8783, aka Lizzy, for their work on the boob textures.

What's in the package

As preview images show, there are two different variations: vanilla, upscaled textures with the custom scales. There is also a version with modified textures that add makeup to the diffuse; this cannot be turned on/off with in-game options, and is baked in. The scales on the body do not change between the two different versions.

I have also provided the loose files of scales themselves (all transparent .png) so you can edit and customize them with ease. If you want custom coloration, textures, or want to overlay them on your diffuse while keeping tattoos, etc, then that all is very easy as long as you have a photo editing program.
